KUNG magkakaroon lamang ng puspusang kampanya ang pamahalaan laban sa mga smugglers, hindi na kailangang magpataw pa ng kung anu-anong tax. Hindi na kailangang pahirapan pa ang mamamayan na magpasan ng 12 percent na value added tax. Kung ang lahat ng kargamentong papasok ay mabubuwisan hindi maghihirap ang bansang ito at maligaya ang mamamayan sapagkat ang serbisyo ay makakamtan. Pero hindi ganyan ang nangyayari sa kasalukuyan, talamak ang smuggling at natatalo ang gobyerno ng bilyong piso bawat taon.

The value-based excise tax would particularly affect Asian utility vehicles (AUVs) which are  widely  used as faster and more comfortable alternative to buses and jeepneys by Metro Manila commuters.   


AUVs account for over 40 percent of the total motor vehicle market last year.

                    [Summary] => The Center for Research and Communication (CRC) is in agreement on the need to provide temporary tariff protection for the petrochemical industry.


In a recent study completed last month, the CRC noted that the domestic petrochemical industry is experiencing hard times, due to external factors.


The first external factor, the CRC said, was the 1997 Asian crisis and the second is the slowdown in the US economy.


CRC also pointed out there is no naphtha cracker plant in the country and the industry is facing competition from increased smuggling.
